We are from the island of Mauritius, off the east coast of Africa. We use traditional rhythms (sega and seggae 6/8 and african 12/8) as a base, then layer more modern melodies and arrangements, and end up with music.

Why this name?

Tahé! means "Damn!" in creole. We like the name because this is precicely the reaction we want from people listening to our music.

Do you play live?

At the moment only in Mauritius, but we have big plans...

If you make it big..?

Dat's da plan, man

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?

The music can finally speak for itself instead of the record labels deciding what people will listen to.

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?

Has anyone ever said no to this question? I guess we would only say no if the big bad record company tried to turn us into a boy's band or something ridiculous...
